Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaj!
Please accept my humble obeisances!!!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!
With your mercy I received an opportunity to meet you in Sydney during your visit in Jan 2016 when you stayed at Anandmaya Gopinath Das prabhu’s place. To be honest I hadn’t realized then, how rare and valuable that opportunity was to associate with you even for few moments. As now I am growing in bhakti a bit, all due to your mercy Guru Maharaj, I am deeply longing for the opportunity to serve you.
It has been my personal realization, while attempting to engage in any spiritual activity, that whenever I intend to satisfy anyone except Guru and Krishna, my satisfaction has always been limited, partial and incomplete and on occasions it has given me dissatisfaction. But you have been an excellent example who has illustrated by own activities that one should always be determined to please Guru and Gauranga. In spite of several difficulties at various levels, you have never shown any sign of reducing your intensity to serve Srila Prabhupada and this quality has inspired me to follow your footsteps. I know for a fallen soul like me it will take several yugas to even start having determination like you Guru Maharaj, but someday with your mercy even that will happen.
Please enable me to receive the mercy showered by you Guru Maharaj and bless this fallen soul so that I am always engaged in your and Krishna’s service.
Please accept this humble attempt to glorify you Guru Maharaj!
